Yes, it's not very common, but young girls can begin to menstruate and go through other changes associated with adolescence. In fact, the youngest mother on record was a five year old from Peru. (http://snopes.com/pregnant/medina.asp)

Can puberty cause depression?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Puberty itself does not cause depression, but from the point that a female hits puberty on, she is more likely to become depressed. Women are twice as likely as men to experience major depression. Depression mainly occurs during adulthood (20-40), but depression in children is becoming much more common and being seriously considered by specialists. Depression in young women and teens is unfortunately common. More than 10% of the population is dealing with depression. It is believed women are more prone to depression because of the unavoidable hormonal fluctuations that happen during puberty and womanhood. Women are most prone to depression after childbirth, which is known as postpartum syndrome.

It depends on the women. A lot of people say its not good, because it causes cramps, but some women do not get cramps during menstruation it all depends on the amount of hormones, or the individual women. Some women have cravings during menstruation and they crave ice cream. Eating Ice cream is okay, but if you start having bad cramps and feeling pain you may not want to eat it.

How long are teenagers supposed to play video games?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes! Teens should be out with their friends and interacting in society. If they are always glued to video games they become like a couch potato with poor eating habits and no exercise. They should come home and interact with family, sit down at the dinner table, do their homework and then they can have an hour or two for their video games. Teens that don't get out with friends and socialize end up being reclusive.

Does puberty happen at night?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Puberty is a 24 hour a day process. You may be thinking of what doctors call, "Nocturnal emissions", also alled, "Night dreams". As your body turns into that of a man, you get the ability to ejaculate semen, a clear to milky liquid that carries the spermatazoa, or just 'sperm' cells that can start a pregnancy in a female. When you dream, you have sexy dreams when you are in puberty. They cause your sex organs to activate. Your penis grows hard and longer, and semen is ejaculated (squirted) through the penis. It is absolutely and 100% normal.

Meaning of puberty?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A period is when menstruation occurs. Basically, an ovum (egg) is released from either ovary. The egg travels through the fallopian tube connected to the ovary and, eventually, it enters the endometrium. While the egg was traveling, the endometrium was thickening. If the egg has not been fertilized by sperm, it evaporates. The endometrium is not needed. The endometrium leaves the body through the vagina as a reddish fluid. This is a period.
